Hi all, I've been running into an interesting problem lately. I use a very basic xmonad/xmobar setup (system info below); not much more than the sample plus some hotkeys. Recently, when I start xmonad (either with startx or MOD+q) xmobar is covered by any windows, as if I did not have manageDocks in my manageHook function. However, it only does this on the screen/desktop that is active when xmonad is (re)started. So, when I first start xmonad on a single-screen machine, workspace 1 (the default startup workspace) will show this issue, but none of the other workspaces will. I can 'fix' this by changing to workspace 9 (which I rarely use), and restarting xmonad with MOD+q. Then, on workspace 9, windows will cover xmobar, but not on 1-8. On multi-screen desktops, this occurs with ALL initial workspaces - on my 4-screen desktop, on startup, windows will cover xmobar on workspaces 1-4, but not 5-9 (until I switch to 6-9 and restart xmonad). I have been experiencing this problem for a few months now, but haven't mentioned it because the "workaround" does the job, as long as I have enough unused workspaces. I'd really like to figure out what I broke or what I need to change... System Info OS: Arch Linux (64-bit, of course) xmonad: v0.12 xmobar: v0.23.1 Xmonad configuration (xmonad.hs): http://pastebin.com/HWhCqYsi Thanks! Chris
